Charming and seductive as well as attractive and idyllic, on Koh Samui you can soak up the island vibes in the bustling centers of Chaweng and Lamai, or find your dream hideaway on a secluded cove and simply escape from the world. Koh Samui offers the best of both worlds.

Best time to visit: While Koh Samui can be visited all year around, February through October are the best months to stay on the island. November through end of January rain increases and can last for hours. Also during this time waves pick up and may be too strong for swimming in the Golf of Thailand.
